Exactly. Isn't it odd that many teenage mothers come from (often excessively) devout families?

All too often, excessive repression leads to an excessive expression. Rather than learning how to be streetsmart, discerning and pragmatic, you unleash socially handicapped people into a very harsh and unforgiving world. I'm not talking evil violent criminals here either. We're talking smooth talking scammers (legal or otherwise), discerning job interviewers, and other social interactions, where lacking the social aptitude from public educaion comes back to haunt.
